5 Operator Controls
A. “CLEAN” (Left Position) - This
position operates the beater only
(no refrigeration). Always use this
position for cleaning and sanitizing
procedures.
B. “OFF” (Center Position) - In this
position the beater motor and
refrigeration system will not oper-
ate.
5.1 Selector Switch 1
C. “AUTO” (Right Position) - This
position activates both the beater
motor and refrigeration unit. This is
the normal operating position.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use the AUTO position with
water or sanitizer in the cylinder. The
freezer will be damaged.
Figure 5-1
CAUTION
Test operation of the head
switch prior to placing the
freezer in service. See
Section 11, Routine
Maintenance, Monthly.
The following paragraphs describe the
operator controls and indicators. Refer to
figure 5-1 for location of these controls
and indicators on the freezer.
NOTE: The head must be in place before

5.2 Pump Switch 2
Although this dial thermometer is not
measuring actual product temperature, it
should be observed for its normal oper-
ating reading. It should read 5° to 15°F
This control will bypass the thermostat,
forcing the compressor and beater motor
to run for approximately 3 minutes. Use
the timer for quick start-ups or fast
recovery when dispensing large por-
tions.
This two-position switch controls the operation of the mix pump located in the walk-in
cooler. Pump must be plugged into the receptacle located on the back panel of the
freezer.
A. “ON” (Left Position) - Use this
position to fill the cylinder with mix
or sanitizer when the freezer is in
the normal operating mode and/or
when removing product from the
cylinder.
B. “OFF” (Right Position) - In this
position the pump will not operate.
(-15° to -9°C) when product is being
dispensed at 18°F (-8°C).
5.3 Reset - Overload 3
5.4 Timer 4
5.5 Thermometer 5
IMPORTANT:
Excessive use of the timer causes
freeze-up and damage to the freezer.
Operator Controls (continued)
This control protects the beater motor
against failure from an overload condition
by automatically shutting down the
freezer. To restart properly, turn the
selector switch to the "OFF" position,
wait 2-3 minutes, then depress the red
reset button and turn the selector switch
back to the "AUTO" or "CLEAN" position.
Repeat as needed until beater motor
restarts.
IMPORTANT:
If the overload trips frequently, your
freezer should be checked for proper
product temperature, overrun, and
voltage. Contact H. C. Duke & Son,
Inc. or your authorized service center.

CAUTION
Make sure freezer is
depressurized before
proceeding.
SafetyInformation
This freezer uses pressure to assure
consistent product quality. It is important
for your safety that the freezer is depres-
surized slowly and completely whenever
the freezer is to be drained, disas-
sembled, cleaned, or serviced. The
safety instructions in this manual will
remind you when to check to make sure
the freezer is depressurized. When you
see this CAUTION statement
the following steps should be taken:
1. Make sure both pump switches and
both selector switches are in the
“OFF” position.
2. Place a clean bucket under the dis-
pense head.
3. Slowly open the spigots by pulling
right to left each of the dispense
